A scene I'm the Indiana Legislature.

was careIully guarueu 'niS
morning by a force of ~doorkeepers,
and even the members OF the body
had difficulty in effecting an entrance.
There was a tremendous crowd In the
Hobbies. At 9 O'Clock Green Smith
raped the Senate to order, where
upon Colonel Robertson, who had
been admitted to the floor, started to-
wards the Chair, and was met on the
steps by the assistant d~oorkeeper,
who told him he could not come up.
Robertson replied that he was the pre-
siding officer of the Senate, and must
take his seat, and stepped forward,
when the doorkeeper repelled him to
the foot of the stairs. There
upon he stood in front of the Clerks
desk, and stated that he had been
elected Lieutenant Governor of the
State, and by the Constitution was
the presiding officer OF the Senate, and
demanded his seat. A point of order
was raised that none but members of
the Senate could take up the time of
the body, which Smith sustained, and
called upon the doorkeeper to remove
Robertson from the Chamber. The
doorkeeper approached Robertson,
took his arm, and the two walked out
to the main door. The crowd saw
Robertson come out, and there was
great excitement. He mounted the
steps and made a speech, reciting
what had occurred in the Chamber,
and cautioned the people to do moth
ing that would infringe the peace or
dignity of the State, or anything that
they would regret in cooler moments.
This ended the trouble, and Robert
son passed out into the hall of the
House, which body had not yet met.
During the excitement about the Sem
ate doors three of the Senators at
tempted to enter, and had a difficulty
with Senator johnson of Wayne, who
denounced the doorkeepers, and dur
ing the melee a number of persons
from the inside approached the door,
among them Senator Mcdonald, who
put up his hands. Johnson interpreted
it as an attempt to thrust him back,
and struck Mcdonald in the
face. Senator Demott was or
dered into his seat, and when the
Sergeant-at-Arms put him down,
threw him to the floor. The Repub-
lican Senators started to follow Robert
son out OF the Chamber, but were not
permitted to leave. They sat quietly
in the rear of the Chamber, taking no
part in the proceedings. When the
House was called to order, bills on
their passage were called up, and one
bill was passed. The Speaker an
nounced that when the Lieutenant
Governor was presiding in the Senate,
according to the constitution, the fact
OF its passage would be communicated
to that body. This was received with
great applause. He instructed the
doorkeeper not to admit the Secretary
of the Senate to the hall, with the
design of presenting any communion
ton.
